Shark Bay - Denham and surrounds

On our way out of Shark Bay we stopped at a few places to do some sight seeing. In Denham we visited the most Westerly Pub on the mainland (only have the most southerly left).

Just outside of Denham is the Aquarium. This was a great spot to visit. The Aquarium has many large tanks with different local sea species in them. A Marine Biologists takes you on a tour and tells you about interesting facts of the various animals located in the thanks.

Next we stopped at Eagle Bluff. The boys were not impressed with this stop and stayed in the car while Prue and Chris checked it out. An impressive view.

Our final stop was Shell Beach. Shell beach is completly made of small sheells about the size of your thumbnail. Due to the extra salty water here only the cockle lives and survives here. ALso due to the salty water the cockle can only grow to a small size.
